Drafting Teams in SkillShark: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Navigate to Weighted Reports

Weighted reports
  • Click on the Reports section on the left-hand navigation bar and scroll down to “Weighted Reports.”

Step 2: Create Weighted Reports

Pitchers
  • Name your report and toggle on the relevant skills.
    • I.e., If you want to identify the top pitchers, name the report “Best Pitchers” and then scroll down to the relevant skills on the template.
  • Adjust the desired weights for each metric based on your coaching formula. For example, if mechanics is more important in determining a player’s score, assign a higher weight to this metric.
  • Click “Save” to run the report.
Catchers
  • In this example, we will also create a weighted report for “Top Catchers” and toggle on the relevant skills in the template.
  • Adjust the desired weights for each metric based on your coaching formula.
  • Click “Save” to run the report.
  • Important note: Create a weighted report for each position you want to draft. I.e. In baseball, create separate reports for pitchers, catchers, and positional players.
